[Verse 1]
C           C7
 Maybe it's manifesting
  F         Fm
Or bad time management
       Am         G
I'm consumed with daydreams
        F               C
And I'm tired of the mundane
      C                   C7
These late nights have me aching
      F              Fm
But I won't sit back waiting
          Am               G
Oh, we've talked about the growing
    F             C
But not about the pain

[Chorus]
                C     F
I'm in my lemon day - ays
    Am          G
For life is lemonade
         C
When the hero gets tested
    F
The beast gets restless
     Am              G
So remember why you came
             C     F
Yeah life's okay - ay
       Am              G
But my plans are being laid
        C
It's an uphill climb
F
I got peace of mind
          Am            G
While I'm working for a change
            C     F    Am   G
In my lemon day - ays

[Verse 2]
C            C7
 Wishing for blue skies
    F              Fm
And settled in for blueprints
      Am             G
But I know where I'm going
            F         C
It's only a matter of time
      C      C7
I got pastel posters
       F            Fm
On the walls of my mind
   Am             G
So even when it's hard
  F            C
I know I'll be fine
